1. Mélanie P.
“Melanie did a great job of taking care of our dog while respecting the house at the same time. We had great communication through her entire stay and she sent a bunch of photos. She was patient with our animal and asked questions when instructions or things were not clear. Happy with it all 😊”
2. Mckinna W.
“Mckinna was excellent. We had her house/cat sit and when we came home the house was in order and she left a beautiful card and framed drawing of our babies. She would send updates during our vacation and we came home to some very happy and well taken care of kitties. We would recommend her services.”
3. Danika S.
“Danika was phenomenal. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets, do yourself a favour and book her. We felt incredibly lucky that we had Danika house sitting for us while we were away! To the humans, she was kind, responsive, and reassuring. And the dogs love her, including our anxious one who rarely connects so quickly with anyone! I can’t believe how fast the dogs took to her. We left her information about our dogs’ routines, likes and dislikes, etc., and she followed it attentively. Not only did she provide our dogs with a fun weekend, she also left our house cleaner than we left it, which was unbelievable and unexpected! We will rebook with Danika whenever we can!”
4. Yeran W.
“Good communication and the cats seemed to love him!”
5. Veronica M.
“Veronica is a wonderful and responsible pet caregiver. I own a veterinary-related small animal business, and she is employed with me as a veterinary technician. She cares strongly for the health and welfare of our patients, and is very gentle and considerate of the pets unique personalities. She has also on a personal level cared for my own pets (2 cats, and 2 dogs with anxiety and minor resource guarding) while I was away, and took excellent care of them. She made sure to minimize stress for my anxious dogs and interact with them in a positive manner.”
6. Jenna G.
“Jenna looked after my mom's dogs on very short notice and took the best care of them! They loved her from the moment they met. She worked around their schedules to ensure they were never left alone for too long. We would, without hesitation, have Jenna take care of our dogs again.”
7. Christine M.
About: I grew up caring for dogs, hamsters, and fish and I got my own dog 11 years ago ❤️ I've always been an animal lover. I have experience doing dog and cat sitting and visits for friends as well. I really enjoy meeting new dogs and kitties and helping make sure they are happy and safe, while their pet parents are away. To me, our pets are family and they deserve care that allows them to have comfort, play and exercise. I run my own business so I have a very flexible schedule for drop-in visits, weekends away, and/or dog walks. I am open to longer term care plans as well. I would treat your pet as my own, while still being a good guest in your home. My priority is giving your furry friend some mental stimulation through affection, games, walks, and making sure their food and water is always topped up and accessible. I also want to know what their specific needs and likes/dislikes are as every pet has its own personality!
8. Jason L.
“Great with my seniors, they were better behaved when I got back! Dependable, responsible, took great care of my house.”
9. Olivia R.
“Olivia looked after my cat while I was away, and she was amazing! My cat can be a little standoffish with new people, but he absolutely adored her. She kept me updated with little messages and photos, which made me feel so much better about being gone. When I got home, everything was spotless, and my cat was happy and relaxed (which never happens after I travel!). I’d trust her to watch my fur baby again in a heartbeat.”
10. Bailey L.
“Bailey is one of the biggest animal lovers I know, she would be an amazing pet sitter for you and your little furry loved one”
11. Kate L.
“Kate has been so amazing looking after our dog on multiple occasions. He always clearly has a great time, is relaxed and loves her company. This past visit she went above and beyond staying super late as we were at a wedding all evening and into the night. It’s piece of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands 🐾”
12. Lynda R.
“Lynda took care of our 12 year old dog Zoe for a week while we were away on vacation. She truly gave us peace of mind as Zoe is getting older and needs extra loving care. Lynda provides a clean and safe environment as well as a large fenced backyard. She is honest, kind and energetic. Her love for animals is obvious, this is why we will not hesitate to ask Lynda to look after our dog again.”
13. Linda V.
“Linda is genuinely an animal lover. She grew up with pets from dogs, cats, hampsters, Guinea pigs and rabbits; and cared deeply for all. She recently lost her boxer to old age but was amazing with her throughout her life. My elderly female cat who is a bit skittish just loves her. I would highly recommend Linda to care for your pet, she is reliable, honest and a caring person.”
14. Megan S.
“Megan is the best pet caretaker I have ever met. I can trust her to keep my dogs happy and healthy, and to give them the best care. She’s very reliable and trustworthy, and it is evident how much she adores animals. My dogs love her and always look forward to playtime and walks with her!”
15. Jessica T.
“Jessica is next-level amazing! I almost selfishly didn’t write a review because I don’t want people to book her up but she deserves to be recognized for how exceptional she is. Jessica has an impressive background of working with dogs from working at a vet clinic to being a trainer and more, but the biggest piece for me and my Doods has been her educational background in dog behaviouralism. My AussieDoodle has recently become reactive to everything and everyone and my GoldenDoodle lacks confidence and having Jessica around to care for them allows me to fully relax while away. I’m no longer worried that someone else would not be equipped to handle some of the situations that would arise. She is also a natural talent with emotional intelligence and I could instantly see how aware she was of their emotions with just the slightest changes in their behaviour or body language. You can tell how much she cares for animals whilst being super realistic in their growth process and how that can be intertwined into our day to day lives. She is caring and kind to our Doods, but also knows how to behave around dogs who are outputting bad behaviours so as to not make them worse. One very basic example is not giving attention my Doods when they are barking and jump at her when she enters my house. Jessica watched my Doods in my home and spent some time training them and then shared some things that I could continue to help in my journey to reducing their stressors. She even shared some videos on my return so I could see their behaviours when I left them with her so I could finally understand the level of their separation anxiety and could take action to make it better. I feel so lucky to have found such a diamond in the ruff! Thank you Jessica for all of your support.”
16. Becky M.
“Becky is always so reliable and keeps us updated with pics and news on the pets/home. We trust her with our home and are super appreciative having her house sit for us”
17. Sarah W.
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my 5 month puppy while I was at work. She loves all animals and goes out of her way to make sure your loved fluffer is cared for. Thanks Sarah!!!”
18. Breanna L.
“Breanna was excellent! We left her with quite a crew of pets on the day of our daughter’s wedding, and she handled it like the pro she is. We’ll definitely book her again; she’s friendly, great with dogs, arrived on time, and kept the gang of 3 dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs fed, watered, and loved.”
19. Emily R.
“Great with our high energy dogs!”
20. Michaela T.
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful! We will for sure be having her stay again and would highly recommend her!”
